So here's my try to guide you through this jungle."

from the article:
"OSS should be considered obsolete and not be used in new applications"
This is total bulshit, we have OSS4 which is totally free and open source


It doesn't matter!
Trust is slowly build and easily lost, users were burnt by OSS licensing issues, why would they ever trust again OSS?
They won't, remember ReiserFS 4?
It wasn't included in the kernel for many reason, but one of the main reason was that kernel developers didn't trust Reiser as he didn't maintained properly the previous FS.
